Rage of the Aunt

Deep within the dwarven emperor's castle screams could be heard accompanied by the sounds of beating and a man yelling. Daedalus was chained to a wall where Artair was sending slaps filled with immortal energy at Daedalus' stomach.

As he was being beaten and in between the screams of pain Daedalus couldn't help but say "What do you mean by exposing me to immortal energy! You're literally beating it into me!"

Sadly anyone nearby could only hear the beatings continue while the screams got louder. Unfortunately after Daedalus had said what he said Artair never gave him another chance to speak until the day was over.

"Pain, everything is pain." Daedalus laid still in his bed. It had only taken an hour for him to sense the immortal energy but his uncle wouldn't even let him try to speak. Daedalus would complain to his aunt, he quickly decided.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning Daedalus woke up feeling better, his stomach was nearly healed so he just sighed, he had after all decided to eat out his uncle to his aunt, see how he liked that.

Almost as if he could hear Daedalus' thoughts Artair suddenly walked in with a vile grin on his face, this time though, in his hands was a whip. Daedalus quickly said "Wait, wait. I can already sense immortal energy, just don't torture me anymore."

As he said this Daedalus practically teleported to the teleportation formation. Artair obviously chased him and stared at Daedalus as he grinned and activated a defensive formation. At the same time that Daedalus was feeling confident he revealed what he was about to do "I'm gonna tell aunty Ceridwen that you beat me ruthlessly for a day even though it only took an hour for me to sense immortal energy."

As he finished speaking Artair went pale and started attacking the defensive formation. It shuddered again and again under the immortal energy he was using. Daedalus however just smirked and said "Bye, bye."

Then in a flash of light Daedalus disappeared and reappeared in Ceridwen's palace. Daedalus didn't hesitate to follow the traces of immortal energy left from where she walked and quickly found her in the garden tending to plants.

Ceridwen could see the practically frantic look on his face almost the moment she sensed his presence and quickly said "What's wrong?"

As Daedalus was about to speak Daedalus heard Artair roar "Daedalus!"

With fear in his eyes Daedalus quickly said "Save me!"

It was then. Then that Artair appeared his face had somehow managed to go a pale red as steam poured from his nose. Daedalus' heart tightened at his appearance and he quickly hid behind Ceridwen while revealing the truth "He beat me for an entire day!"

Artair immediately froze in place and could barely gulp before he was planted well over a hundred metres into the ground. Ceridwen then looked him over and said "There are traces of immortal energy all over your stomach, that bastard!"

It was then that Daedalus played his trump card "He said he was going to help me sense immortal energy. It worked but I had managed to do it in an hour and he kept going for the entire day."

As he said this Daedalus used his full body control to have tears pour down his face as he hugged his aunt. As it had been a few years Daedalus had regressed to looking about fifteen so his appearance and height compared to Ceridwen brought out her full anger.
